Itinerarium

Educational game to engage primary school children in learning history through interactive play.

The game tells the story of the Emperor Carinus and his wife Magnia Urbica as they travel from Germany to Rome, where Carinus is to be crowned Emperor.
The game board is a reproduction of the Tabula Peutingeriana (Weber 1976), a medieval copy of an ancient Roman road map (about 300 A.D.).

The board was created using laser engraving and cutting techniques, and contains a representation of the map and 30 squares representing towns with an imaginary road linking them in in a journey.

An interactive lamp developed from an accurate reproduction of the ancient Roman oil lamp is used to determine the duration of the game.
